[QUOTE="singlespeed, post: 28930, member: 264"] If your meaning my sugestion, then yes it did. That was on a Fiat Seicento sporting, which was generaly terrible for the wheels seizing onto the hub. With only 1/4 turn slackened, the wheel will still be located on the spigot ring, but the clamping force from the bolts won't be there, holding the wheel against the hub. A short slow drive with some steering input should break the corrosion between wheel and hub. A local carpark is ideal, driving a tight circle, having the stuck wheel on the outside of the circle. Caution ***50yards, 5mph - 10mph max*** Once the initial stiction is broken, you should be able to wiggle the wheel free, even if it is still tight on the spigot. Before re-fitting, clean up the hub spiggot and apply a little bit of copper grease to help removal next time [/QUOTE]
